Deen – Quran, Hadith & Prayer

What is Deen?

Deen – Quran, Hadith & Prayer is a free Android application created by Abdul Kader Palash. It is designed to serve as a digital companion for Muslims who want quick access to core Islamic resources such as the Holy Quran, major Hadith books, prayer‑time calculations and daily duʿā.

Main features

• Quran reading – Full Arabic text with optional translations, bookmarking and the ability to listen to recitations.
• Hadith library – Selections from well‑known collections, presented in Arabic with translation and sharing options.
• Prayer times – Automatic calculation based on the device’s location, with a built‑in Qibla compass.
• Daily duʿā – A curated list of common supplications, available in text and audio form.
• Digital tasbih – A simple counter for dhikr, allowing users to set personal targets.
• Asmaʿul‑Ḥusna – The 99 names of Allah with meanings and pronunciation guides.

How it works

When the app is opened, the main menu presents clear icons for each resource. Selecting the Quran opens a scrollable view where users can switch between Arabic, transliteration and translation panes. Audio recitations can be streamed or downloaded for offline listening. The prayer‑time module reads the device’s GPS coordinates, applies the appropriate calculation method and displays the next prayer along with a Qibla direction arrow.

Practical uses

• Read or listen to the Quran during commute or travel.
• Look up authentic Hadith quickly for study or sermon preparation.
• Check accurate prayer times wherever you are, without needing an internet connection.
• Use the digital tasbih for personal dhikr sessions.
• Learn the meanings of the 99 names of Allah and incorporate them into daily worship.

Installation information

The app is available for free on the Google Play Store. Installation follows the standard Android process: tap “Install,” allow the requested permissions for location (used only for prayer‑time calculation), and launch the app once the download completes.

Things to know before installing

• The app requires Android devices with location services enabled to provide prayer‑time data.
• Audio files for recitations and duʿā can be downloaded for offline use, which may consume storage space.
• All content is provided without charge, but occasional in‑app prompts may suggest donations to support development.

Who may find it useful?

Anyone looking for a single, lightweight tool that combines the Quran, Hadith, prayer times and daily supplications will benefit from Deen. It is especially handy for travelers, students, and anyone who prefers to keep religious resources on a mobile device rather than switching between multiple apps.

Frequently asked questions

Is an internet connection required?

Can I customize the font size?

Yes, the reading view includes options to adjust Arabic, transliteration and translation font sizes for comfortable reading.

Does the app support dark mode?

Yes, a dark theme is available in the settings to reduce eye strain in low‑light environments.
